1.0 Installation and Zoning

DANGER: The Compac PT1 Payment Terminal is NOT suitable for mounting in any hazardous area.

It must be installed OUTSIDE the Hazardous areas.

Please refer to the site's Zonal drawings to find the exact positions of the hazardous areas for each particular site.

The Site Zonal drawings consider all the equipment on site, not just the Compac equipment.

As a guide, PT1 Payment Terminal installations should comply with all the following requirements.

Important Note: The following are guidelines only

If in doubt, consult a Hazardous Area specialist.

  • The PT1 should be placed at least 8 metres from any above ground flammable liquid storage or handling facility other than a dispenser.

  • The PT1 should be placed at least 0.5 metres from any flammable liquid fuel dispensers and 1.5 metres from any LPG dispensers.

  • The PT1 should be mounted so that the base of the cabinet is at least 0.5 metres above the ground. If mounted on the post supplied by Compac it will be 0.5 metres high.

  • If the PT1 post is within 4 metres of a dispenser or within 1 metre of the end of any fuel dispenser hose, then the entire interior of the post may be considered a hazardous area. Any cables running through, or electrical equipment mounted in the post should be suitable for that hazardous area (refer AS/NZS 2381).

For adequately ventilated fuel dispensing sites (not including CNG/NGV), in most cases the following will apply:

  • The unit is not designed to be constantly exposed to the elements. A shelter should be installed to protect it.

  • The card reader and PIN pad should face away from the prevailing wind especially in dusty or wet areas.

  • In areas experiencing extremes of weather (heat, cold, wind, rain, salt spray etc.) consideration should be given to installing additional shelter.

  • The PT1 location or protection should be such as to minimise the possibility of damage from vehicles, trailers, boats, or the like.

  • On heavy vehicle sites, mounting the unit on a raised pad and/or installing bollards to help protect from damage should be considered.

  • If mounting on a post, the base needs to be attached to a smooth, level surface of sufficient strength to securely hold the retaining bolts or fasteners.

  • Whenever running a cable through the post into the base of the cabinet always ensure that the cable entry into the cabinet uses a vapour tight gland.

  • Generally, the area below the PT1 may be a hazardous area and therefore some appropriate signage may be required e.g. no smoking.

  • Lighting should be provided during the hours of operation. Lighting should be sufficient to provide safe working conditions that include, but are not limited to, clear visibility of all markings on packages, signs, instruments and other necessary items.

Note: A minimum value of 50 lux is recommended.

These requirements do not apply to any specific site but are merely recommendations that will apply in most cases. The owner/installer must ensure that the installation complies with AS/NZS 3000, AS 1940, and any other applicable regulations.

2.0 Safety

You must adhere to the following safety precautions at all times when working on the Compac COM5 PT1. Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to the COM5 PT1, injury, or death. Make sure that you read and understand all safety precautions before installing, servicing, or operating the Compac COM5 PT1.

PRECAUTIONS

Always follow safe operating procedures, any national or local regulations and site-specific instructions.

Make sure that the service area is thoroughly clean when servicing. Dust and dirt entering the components reduce the life span of the components and can affect operation.

Some components have sharp edges and corners. Wear gloves whenever practicable while working inside the cabinet.

2.1 Site Safety

Comply with all safe site regulations for the site you are working on and any additional instructions from the site manager.

Wear and use appropriate safety equipment such as safety boots, high visibility clothing, hard hat, gloves, and barrier cream.

Cordon off the area you are working in using cones, barriers, caution tape etc.

CAUTION:

When working near any flammable goods area, take all precautions to avoid all potential sources of ignition. This includes but is not limited to: Open flames, hot exhausts, welding flames or sparks, static electricity, non-intrinsically safe electrical equipment, use of mobile phones.

These instructions are to be used as a guide only and may not cover all situations. It is the responsibility of yourself and the site manager to take appropriate health and safety precautions.

2.2 Electrical Safety

CAUTION:

Always turn off the power to the COM5 PT1 before removing the high voltage area Perspex guard. Never touch wiring or components inside the high voltage area with the power on.

Always turn off the power to the COM5 PT1 using the mains switch and the battery isolation switch before removing or replacing any PCB’s.

Always take basic anti-static precautions when working on the electronics, i.e., wearing a wristband with an earth strap.

240 Volt

The COM5 PT1 is powered by 240-volt AC mains power. The mains power enters the cabinet via a gland in the base and is connected into the main circuit breaker on the DIN rail. From the circuit breaker, power goes to a connector block where it is split with wires running to the thermostat/heater and to the power supply mounted on the back of the electronic module. The power supply steps down the 230 Volts AC to 16-volt DC to power the main electronic components.

Technicians should be able to safely operate and diagnose an COM5 PT1 with the cabinet door open if they do not touch any of the 230 volt powered components behind the Perspex cover or the 230 Volt terminals on the power supply.

Turning off the mains power at the mains circuit breaker should be sufficient to allow maintenance of the COM5 PT1 providing isolation is tested.

The 2 DIN rails hold 230 Volt components. The 230 Volt components (230 Volt connector block, circuit breaker, thermostat, and heater) should not be touched unless isolated. The 5 Volt wires on the left-hand side can be safely touched to help diagnose connection problems.

CAUTION:

The cabinet heater operates when the temperature inside the cabinet drops below a pre-set level. In cold weather the heater can start without warning and may get hot enough to cause skin burns if touched (105°C).

12 Volt

The COM5 PT1 runs on 16 Volts DC and has an internal 12 Volt battery to supply power in the case of mains failure. When the mains power is turned off, the unit will still be powered by the battery. Turn off the battery isolation switch or turn off the mains power before working on any electronic components.

CAUTION:

When removing the battery, take care not to short the positive terminal on the chassis of the COM5 PT1. Make sure the positive terminal is insulated before installing the battery.

Power Supply

The power supply converts the 230 Volt AC power to 16 Volt DC power. It is located behind the electronics module and has exposed terminals. Do not place your hand in the gap between the left-hand side of the electronics module and the cabinet side unless you have isolated the mains power.

5.0 Mechanical Installation

Prior to Installation

Read the relevant parts of this manual and make sure you have the following information:

  • All necessary approvals to work on the site

  • The PT1 factory set up sheet

  • The site audit document

  • The telephone number, user name and password for ADSL sites

  • Contact details for site owner or manager

  • Contact details for help desk

Note: For ADSL sites, check that the broadband account is set up.

Note: For wireless sites check that the SIM card is registered to a valid account.

Note: It is advisable to book an installation time with the help desk at least 24 hours before going to site. This will ensure that help desk staff will be prepared for your inquiries. Help desk hours are currently Monday to Friday 8.00am to 7pm NZ Standard Time.

Bring the following equipment:

  • Mechanical and electrical tools

  • Multimeter

  • Fastenings to mount the PT1 Payment Terminal

  • Security key drivers (Security TORX or unique security key if Extra Security equipped)

  • A fully charged laptop computer

  • A charged cell phone

  • OPT spares kit

  • SIM cards for wireless sites (if not supplied with unit)

Position

Refer to the Site Audit document for location.

Check the site drawings for details regarding hazardous areas. If in any doubt about the location, refer to the site manager.

Install the OPT in a sheltered position and if possible, facing away from prevailing wind and rain direction.

If possible, install out of direct sunlight to avoid raising the temperature inside the OPT cabinet more than necessary.

Situate the OPT so the PIN pad display will not be in direct sunlight at any time during the day as it makes it hard to read.

Make sure that you position the PT1 Payment Terminal to ensure you can open the cabinet door. If mounted on a post, you must also allow clearance be able to remove and replace the access panel on the post.

5.1 Mounting the PT1 Payment Terminal on a Post

If a post is part of the installation, the post must be securely attached to the ground using appropriate fastenings.

Note: Due to the variability in sites, Compac does not supply ground fastenings with the post. The base plate has 4 x 19mm holes for fastenings, select appropriate fastenings according to the surface and location where the OPT is to be mounted.

CAUTION: Take care when opening the PT1 cabinet door before the cabinet is securely mounted. The door holds several heavy components that will cause the cabinet to tip when opened.

To mount the post onto the base:

  • Place the post over the base with the opening facing away from where the front of the PT1 will be.

  • If the PT1 has been supplied with the extra security upgrade, place the powder coated stainless steel bolt covers over the base mounting nuts (trim the bolts if needed). Secure using the supplied stainless steel bolts passing through the bolt cover, post and base plate. (The bolts may need trimming.)The rounded head faces out and place a flat washer under the nut on the inside of the post.

  • Standard PT1s do not have the bolt covers. Fasten using the supplied galvanised bolts with the rounded head facing out and a flat washer under the nut.

To mount the PT1 onto the post:

  • PT1s with the extra security upgrade use special keyed machine screws. The head of the bolts face out. Standard PT1s use four M10 bolts, nuts, flat and spring washers.

  • Place the PT1 cabinet on top of the post and securely fasten the cabinet to the post using a flat washer and spring washer under the nut.

  • Feed the wiring into the base of the OPT using vapour resistant glands and block any unused holes.

  • Coil and secure all loose wiring inside the post. Neatly cable-tie the wiring inside cabinet to existing cable routings. Ensure wiring will not contact any equipment when the door is closed and ensure it is not under tension.

  • Fit the cover plate on the back of the post using the supplied M6 Security Torx head screws or security keyed M6 machine screws for the extra security models.

Note: Use only the Compac supplied 4 bolt mounting plate to secure the OPT to the post.

Note: Security Torx or Security Keyed head screws must be used on the cover plate of the post to prevent unauthorised access to the wiring.

CAUTION: Any unused holes in the bottom of the PT1 cabinet must be blanked. No open holes in the base of the PT1 cabinet are permitted.

6.0 Electrical Installation

6.1 Cable Requirements

Power Cable

3 Core Steel Wire Armour Cable 2.5mm². 230 Volts, 10A, 50 Hz. Connect the incoming mains as follows:

  • Live - Connect to the Left bottom screw down terminal of the mains switch.

  • Neutral - Connect to the Right bottom screw down terminal of the mains switch.

  • Earth - Connect to the busbar.

Pump Comms

2 Core Steel Wire Armour Cable 1.5mm². Total cable length in the comms circuit should not exceed 100 metres.

Terminals will be labelled depending on the brand of pump on site. Correct polarity must be observed.

Note: For pump comms, tank gauging and ADSL connections it is suggested that the wires are crimped to a ferrule to provide a greater contact area for the screw fastener.

Note: Make sure the clamping screw contacts the terminal and not the insulation.

Tank Gauging

Connect the wires from the tank gauging unit to the terminals on the Din rail marked Tx, Rx and G. The Tx wire from the tank gauging unit connects to the Rx terminal. Refer to the Side DIN Rail Terminal drawing

Cable length should be less than 3 metres. Cable length can be extended up to 10 metres if an opto-isolator is used.

Note: Site electrical and magnetic interference can reduce transmission distance.

7.0 Electrical connections

Note: The following drawings can also be found on a label inside the PT1 cabinet

7.4 Modem and Network connections

4G & 5G Aerial/Antennae Installation

For wireless connected units where the aerial is mounted remotely from the cabinet, the aerial cable should be run through ducting that provides suitable protection and flexibility.

When choosing a location for aerial installation, ensure that as much of the aerial as possible, especially the fibreglass whip section, is mounted away from metallic obstructions such as pillars and roof overhang. Ensure it is not mounted within one metre of any other aerials to minimise signal interference.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When installing the spring-loaded aerial, it is essential to leave enough loose cable at the bottom of the aerial for when the spring flexes. A loop of 50mm before fixing the cable should be sufficient.


image

The aerial plugs into the wireless router. Neatly cable-tie the aerial cable to existing wiring and feed any excess into the base where it can be coiled and cable tied out of the way. Make sure the aerial cable does not interfere with the paper roll when the door is closed.

7.5 Glanding

Gland the mains power, pumps comms, tank gauging and Antenna/Network SWA cables up through the post into the 20mm holes provided in the bottom of the cabinet.

Certain configurations will use wireless communication to internet and therefore not require a network cable.

Ensure the Perspex terminal cover is refitted after the cables are connected

NOTE: Check that all cables are securely fastened by pulling each one in turn to make sure they are properly attached.

CAUTION: Ensure Perspex terminal cover is refitted after all cables are connected.

NOTE: Due to varying customer requirements, connections may change from what is shown above.

8.0 COMMS connections

CI533 Comms board

In the PT1, the CI533 Comms interface PCB board is piggy-backed on top of the Processor Board

A 15 core multicore loom connects the CI533 Comms board to the DIN Terminal Rail where all the site connections are made. The DIN Rail which is clearly labelled.

All site connections are made directly on the DIN rail.

No site connections are required directly onto the CI533 Comms board.

11.0 PT1 Operation and Servicing

The Online Payment Terminal (COM5 PT1) enables unattended refuelling at unmanned sites such as truck stops, marinas, aviation sites and supermarkets where the driver, skipper or pilot can pay for fuel by credit card, distributor card or on enabled sites, by EFTPOS. The COM5 PT1 can accept multiple card bases simultaneously through Compac's EFTPOS partner, WindCave.

The COM5 PT1 is a National Measurement Institute (NMI) approved control system for fuel dispensers. It incorporates a forecourt controller that is capable of controlling Compac, PEC, Gilbarco, and Dart protocol pumps. Tank levels can be monitored with Veeder-root, Calibri, Fafnir, and Franklin tank gauges. The COM5 PT1 is designed to AS/NZS 3100 wiring standards.

Card are authorised online in real time. Offline mode can be enabled. Card bases can be set up as "Limited Validation" meaning a list of valid cards is stored or as "Extended Validation" meaning the card base is unlimited and the hot (lost/stolen) card lists are stored.

The COM5 PT1 has a backup power supply to allow communications and receipts to be printed in the event of a power failure. For an overview of the backup battery operation refer to Power Loss.)

11.1 Operation

  • Following the instructions displayed on the COM5 PT1, the user inserts and removes their card.

  • The COM5 PT1 requests the user to select which pump they wish to refuel from.

  • The user follows on-screen prompts to authorise the transaction. The prompts will vary according to the type of card, the network in use and the country of use.

  • The COM5 PT1 display advises the user to take fuel.

  • After fuel has been taken and the pump nozzle hung up a receipt can be obtained by the customer by re-inserting and removing their card. This can be done up to 20 minutes after the transaction

11.2 Downloading COM5 PT1 Transaction Data

EFTPOS and credit card transactions are handled by banks and transaction processing entities.

Distributor card transactions are sent to the CompacOnline website www.compaconline.com.in real time via the Internet.
